Wärtsilä, a global leader in marine and energy technologies, is further strengthening its presence in Poland by establishing a new Wärtsilä Global Business Services (WGBS) hub in Gdańsk. The new centre will support Wärtsilä’s global operations and create approximately 100 new expert-level roles by the end of 2026, offering attractive career opportunities for finance and data professionals in the region.
Wärtsilä has been operating in Gdańsk for 30 years and currently employs around 300 people locally within its marine business. The establishment of the business services hub marks a natural next phase in the company’s development in Poland.
– Establishing a new hub in Gdańsk is an important step in enhancing efficiency and capabilities of our Global Business Services. With a strong pool of skilled finance professionals in the area, we aim to grow our team in Gdańsk to reach around 100 employees supporting our businesses globally by the end of 2026, says Antti Valtokari, Vice President, Wärtsilä GBS & Operating Model.
Technology and Talent – The Pillars of the Gdańsk Hub
The Gdańsk business services hub will focus on finance operations and master data management, supporting Wärtsilä’s businesses worldwide. The team will work with modern, enterprise-scale platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, Basware AP and ServiceNow, playing a key role in developing efficient, future-ready processes.
– Our team will be responsible not only for day-to-day process execution, but also for continuous improvement and technology-enabled process transformation. We are looking for experienced finance operations professionals who combine strong digital fluency with a passion for driving process improvement – a core part of our operating model. Additionally, we will enhance our team with automation and AI experts, says Wojciech Krygowski, Head of Wärtsilä Global Business Services Hub in Gdańsk.

Pomerania Welcomes a Global Player
Wärtsilä employs approximately 17,900 professionals across 199 locations in 78 countries and is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki. In 2025, the company reported net sales of EUR 6.9 billion. The Gdańsk hub will be Wärtsilä’s second Global Business Services centre, complementing the existing hub in Vaasa, Finland.
Local and regional authorities have welcomed the investment as a strong vote of confidence in Pomerania’s talent market and strategic focus areas.
– We are truly delighted that a company like Wärtsilä has chosen to locate its global business services centre here in Pomerania. The maritime economy and energy transition are the two pillars on which we are building the future of our region. There is no better address for a global leader in marine and energy technologies than Gdańsk – says Mieczysław Struk, Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
The investment was supported by Invest in Pomerania, a regional initiative coordinated by the Pomerania Development Agency, assisting foreign investors in establishing and growing their operations locally.
